Ahmed Alwan of the Lucky Candy deli in New York City is making math sweeter. Alwan is a cashier at the Bronx deli, which is owned by his father, Saleh Aobad. Two weeks ago, Alwan, 20, began quizzing customers, telling them that if they solved a simple math problem, he would give them five seconds to grab anything they wanted from the store, free of charge. "All I wanted to do was help people, but I wanted to make it fun," he told CNN. Alwan shares videos of his customers on TikTok and Instagram, and says it's "a way to entertain and educate people in need while putting a smile on their face, too." Alwan is a student at Bronx Community College, studying to be a pharmacist. He has been working at the deli for seven years, and knows that many of his customers struggle to afford their rent and utilities. He pays for all of the items that he gives away, as well as the fruit, muffins, and coffee that he distributes to homeless people in the area. Alwan's dad told CNN he is proud of his son, whose goodwill "spreads positivity throughout the community

Chinese owned tik tok. Government officials are not even allowed to use it.
